Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Twin Mountain, NH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Twin Mountain who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
